boodlers were getting desperate and
would resort to almost anything to
thwart me in this investigation, but l
never supposed they would attempt
burglary in a crowded building. That's
what it was, a burglary, and nothing
else, for that warrant for Schneider
was only frail pretext for committing
the crime. They knew they would
not find Schneider there; they did not
want Schneider, but they wanted pa

Canada,s Boom.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia Toronto,
Ontario, special says: Charges against
the reform party of Canada of receiv-
ing thousands of dollars from Ameri-
cans to buy up the country and defeat
Sir John MacDonald'S government is
repeated by the Standard, Sir John
organ. The substance of the charges
made Is as follows: That sum of
$3.50, 600 was received from the iron men
in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, by Toronto
financial agents of the reform party
over ten days ago; that more money
from the same place for the same pur-
pose is now ON its way to Toronto; that
American money sent to Montreal to
defeat Sir John has fallen into the
hands of the conservatives; that Nova
Scotia is being flooded with American
money for the same pur-
pose; that 81 900 has been subscribed
to the reform campaign fund to defeat
the conservative government and de-
stFoy the national policy, by DiSstOn &
Sons, saw-makers of Philadelphia, a
firm which once nearly controlled the
Canadian trade in this class of goods.
The Standard says to Canadians: You
have not only to face rapacious hordes,
of reformers, Reilites, repeaters, seces-
sionists and rebels at home, but you
have to contend against the gold of
the Michigan lumbermen, Pennsylva-
mia iron men, New York and Massa-
chusetts cotton men and New Eng
land fishermen.
